    He would probably be undisputed champ. The only guy which could trouble him is Wlad - but one big one from Frank and Wlad would be outta there.

    I dont see why people keep saying the heavyweight division is dead?

    Yes the American heavyweight scene is dead but other than that it is alive and kicking for the Europeans.

    Is it dead because there are no Americans or even because most of the good heavies are White nowadays?


    Going on about Bruno i think he would probably be around the same as he was when he was actually fighting.

    I would favour him over Chagaev and Peter, but WLad would be too much and i think Ibragimov would probably be too slippery for him. Other than that i think he would definatley be top 5.

    He would definately have held a title in todays era but Wlad would be too good for him.

    He would be the same inconsistent guy he was back in the day. He'd win some and lose some.

    The only one that would beat him is Wlad - but Bruno would still have a chance.

    People often forget that he was schooling Lennox Lewis.

    He would only have trouble with Wlad and I would favour Frank over him.

    He'd be champion, that's for sure. It may be a stretch to say he would be undisputed but he'd be one of the best around today.

    he'd be as close to undisputed champ as is possible these days,he'd have at least 2 alphabet titles.

    Thats bull****. Look at the guys he lost too. Witherspoon Bonecrusher LL and Tyson twice. Bruno got beat by the best. No shame there at all. Right now there isnt even an equivalent for Witherspoon and Bonecrusher let alone LL and Tyson.

    Lewis had flu going into that fight, remember the towel between rounds, and yes I do know it was an open areana fight. He'd NEVER school Lewis unless he had an advantage like that. But I agree with your view on Wlad.

    Yes theres not many who can outbox a prime Lennox.Its a pitty about his chin and stamina,but he was an underrated as a boxer IMHO.
